Abstract
A color picture tube includes a panel of which substantially rectangular effective area has a flat external surface and a curved internal surface, and on the internal surface of the effective area thereof a phosphor screen is formed. The internal surface of the effective area of the panel, when an average radius of curvature in major axis direction is RH, an average radius of curvature in minor axis direction is RV, an average radius of curvature in long side direction is RL and an average radius of curvature in short side direction is RS, is formed in a curved face satisfying RH>RV and RS≧RV, or RH>RV and RS≧RV and RL≧RH. In this color picture tube, flatness of the effective area of the panel and visibility are improved.
